We compare two approaches to increasing tax revenue: tax administration and tax rates. We show that when Indonesia moved top regional firms into “medium taxpayer offices,” with high staff-to-taxpayer ratios, tax revenue more than doubled. Examining nonlinear changes to corporate income tax rates, we estimate an elasticity of taxable income of 0.579. Combining these estimates, improved tax administration is equivalent to raising top rates on all firms by 8 percentage points. On net, improved tax administration can have significant returns for developing countries. (JEL H25, H26, K34, O17)

In this paper the experiences of taxpayers with the tax audits services as an important tool of tax authorities’ struggle against tax evasion are discussed. In the theoretical part of the paper the factors of tax compliance and the tax authorities’ measures in combating tax evasion are examined, the levels of tax rates and the compliance burden of European Union member states’ tax systems are compared. In the empirical part of the paper the experiences of Slovenian companies with tax audit services are analyzed. Better understanding of the drivers of taxpayer compliance behavior allows tax administration to identify and implement policy measures more effectively.

In the early postwar years, Kosovo was faced with a destroyed economy and an inexperienced tax system and was mainly based on the experiences of other countries and not in accordance with the real situation and needs of post-war Kosovo which had to start from “zero” in many areas.The post-war tax policy in Kosovo started with the tax system in accordance with UNMIK Regulations, which were almost all copied from other countries such as from countries in transition as well as from EU Countries,  therefore these regulations were inconsistent with the current situation in Kosovo.The Agency which deals with tax administration is the Tax Administration in Kosovo (TAK).  From the beginning of the work of TAK, from 2000 until today, Kosovo`s tax system has been constantly adapting changes in tax laws aswell as in tax rates.  The main focus of this paper is how changes affect the applicable tax rates in Kosovo and how much impact has this change on the TAK revenues. The current applicable taxes in Kosovo are: Value added tax (VAT); Personal income tax (PIT), and Corporate income tax (CIT).  All these different kinds of taxes have undergone changes in their application as well as in their level of tax rates.

The study aims to empirically analyze the relationship between Taxes and Offshore Deposits. A major issue in the present-day economic world has been the use of tax havens or formally called ‘Offshore Deposits’ by wealthy individuals and companies to evade tax. The prospect of the following study is to analyze what factors really lead to these deposits and whether reducing top income tax rate would be an effective mean to combat these tax evasions. In this paper, it is argued that in fact, tax rates alone are not a reason and when various countries divided in groups lead so several other significant determinants of tax evasion.
